“What I wanted to ask you is--”
He takes off his gloves and wraps his somehow warm hands around my mittens. Honestly, I think I’m going to die.
“What I want to ask you is, two days before Christmas, there is a big winter festival at the harbor.” He pauses for a second and squeezes my hands.
His dimples are in full working order.
“It’s kind of a boy-ask-girl thing, and I was wondering if you, Ms. Emily O’Brien, would like to go?”
“Like, together?” I blurt out. Oh my God, did I just say that!
“Yeah.” Teague grins. “That would be the idea.” He puts his bare hands into my mittens, our first official hand-holding moment, and I don’t just feel it in my hands. “There’s ceremonial dancing, tons of food, a band up from Juneau, and--”
I put my bare finger up to his lips.
I have no idea where I get this move.
“Shhhhh,” I say.
For a second we stand in the dark moonlight with Bear resting beneath us.
“Teague Denali.” I smile at him. “The answer is yes.”

“The most basic precept of all is to be aware of what we do, what we are, each minute . Every other precept will follow from that.”

“...by and by a change came: I started to muse about the shape of my nose. I put my trivial surroundings aside and mused more and more about myself, and I found this to be a bewitching occupation. I stopped asking and longed instead to speak of my thoughts and feelings. Alas, there was no one besides myself who found me interesting.”

“I answer that, It was necessary for man's salvation that there should be a knowledge revealed by God besides philosophical science built up by human reason. Firstly, indeed, because man is directed to God, as to an end that surpasses the grasp of his reason: "The eye hath not seen, O God, besides Thee, what things Thou hast prepared for them that wait for Thee" (Is. 66: 4). But the end must first be known by men who are to direct their thoughts and actions to the end. Hence it was necessary for the salvation of man that certain truths which exceed human reason should be made known to him by divine revelation. Even as regards those truths about God which human reason could have discovered, it was necessary that man should be taught by a divine revelation; because the truth about God such as reason could discover, would only be known by a few, and”

Of Love and Other De...BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
